Default Re: What color is this coupe?

Hi Brent; according to the pictures on your site, the car on e-bay is painted the same color as the one you restored? Are the original A' colors well represented in the Paint & Finish Guide #37530 sold by Brattons. Are there any colors which are a close enough match in new formulas, if using a single stage enamel & hardener. I am not doing this for judging purposes, just a fun driver and I like the combination, yet I am sure there are other mix & match combos that I have never seen. Thanks, Steve

Yes, the color is the incorrect color that PPG has in their formula. Yes, I knew it was incorrect when it was being painted however it was not my call to paint it that shade. In my line of work I must follow the Golden Rule (The Man with the Gold, -Rules!!) They had seen that color at a Model-A show and brought me pictures of exactly what they wanted.

As I and someone else pointed out, the one in the auction is incorrectly painted as far as the body panels. See picture below...

Yes, that's reality. Folks like what they like... it even has extra bling incorrect Top Rest ( don't call them Grab handles) for the rumble seat use.

The happiest of customer is when it's their vision and dream... Whatever it takes to make them happy. nice looking car Brent... job well done
